In 2004 a world class links golf course, Barnbougle Dunes, was established on sand dunes 3km north-east of Bridport. This was soon ranked in the top 50 courses in the world and rising. In 2008 a plan was approved to extend the course a further 18 holes.Most of the accommodation is over rated, the rooms are called cottages but they are really only bedrooms with bathrooms, no cooking facilities,no relaxing lounge rooms.
